Due to the hot weather we have taken the following precautions:

 

• Daily reminders during assemblies and class time for children to drink lots of water and stay in the shade
• Longer play times for all classes in the morning, with children given explicit guidance about staying in the shade and keeping hydrated
• Wet play procedures at lunchtime - therefore no children should be outside in the midday sun

 

Given the forecast for the next two days, we are putting the following in place in addition to the above precautions:

 

• Reception parents to collect their children from the front office from 1:00pm onwards 
• Y1/Y2 to be collected from their classrooms at 2:20pm 
• Y3 - Y6 to be collected at 2:30 pm from the hall (main playground entrance)

 

Years 1-6 have air conditioning units built into each classroom, and so we are able to keep the class temperatures down through the day. However, we are also aware that the increasing temperatures in the afternoon will make a number of your journeys home very challenging.

 

As always, please remember to apply suncream in the morning and ensure that your child is wearing the correct summer uniform – this may include a plain sun hat.

 

Finally, please ensure that all children are collected by 2:30pm, if your child is in years 4-6 and usually walks home by themselves, please fill out the reply slip below to confirm your continued permission.

 

Thank you for your continued support,

Ms Harrison
